It was inconceivable to me that the events lined up where like people were forwarding their mail or people were just happened to be out of town or Kujo's gone and killed everybody on the block and nobody's noticed and it just didn't ring true to me and it felt like it could have been so much shorter and I just didn't enjoy the reading experience of Kujo at all.
My Least Favorite Stephen King Books: What Didn’t Work for Me
- Biggest Disappointments · 6 books
It is good. it just I actually kind of forgot it was in here. it's good, but again, it's not enough to make me love this collection.
And Dolores is actually really good except for a section where we are dealing with Dolores and Vera her employer while basically Dolores has turned into this woman's caretaker and we're dealing with Vera trying to get revenge on Dolores or play tricks on Dolores by crapping herself.
And essentially what we've got here is we've got 40 to 30 to 40% of a really good novel. And then afterwards like it just falls off a cliff.
And for that reason, it's one of my least favorites of The Dark Tower, unless we're talking about Win Through the Keyhole, which is again a double nested narrative that serves no purpose to the Dark Tower.
This is on the list, but it is more of an honorable mention because I'm only 40% through this, but I am bored to tears. This is Thinner by Richard Bachmann, aka Stephen King.
And essentially this is some of the best character work that King does within the dark tower and sometimes I would say in general like Wizard and Glass is a really strong story and for some reason he felt the need to add in multiple sections of Gross Out. It wasn't a horror story to begin with. So, I don't know why he felt the need to inject gross out into the story, but it spoiled the entire reading experience for me.
